Post History

If I remember correctly, the R2 mockumentary is on the episode II bonus disc.

There’s only a preview of that on the Episode 2 bonus disc IIRC. But I know that a DVD with the full mockumentary was released in the US in 2001 or 2002 (read about it at the time in the French official magazine).

In short, like some others others I have conflicted feelings about the movie (saw it on Wednesday, I really liked it, but I do need a second viewing, whenever there’ll be a non-dubbed screening). One thing bugged me a bit at the very beginning though: Unless I heard wrong, they reused the TFA recording for the main title, which I found a bit lazy (and remeniscent of AotC and RotS)…

That aside, it still was a great joy to be sitting and thinking “Damn, I’m actually discovering a new Star Wars movie!” 😄

After reading some info on the Internet about 20 minutes ago, it seems that Close Encounters (2017 master) also suffered (I don’t know what’s the extent of it, I haven’t bought it yet (gets released tomorrow in France)) a bit of revisionism. Why remove matte lines?

Just finished watching it, now THAT was some experience! Through all thoses wonderful surprises during the whole movie (right up to the very end of the credits), I (like I guess all of us) have rediscovered the film, thank you so much!!!

I wonder where it can be found the shot of Han biting the medal, at the end of the ceremony on A New Hope…

It isn’t in Empire of Dreams credits, but (I don’t have the timecode in my head) I think it’s during the part where Lucas had to face the lack of seriousness from everyone, including the actors, during the shooting of the first movie.
